Tulips!

30 Sep

I’ve got a lot to say about our camping trip, but not much time. So for now I will share a few quick pics from our day out yesterday. I will be back with camping stories tomorrow!

We had a wonderful day out at the Tesselaar Tulip Festival in the Dandenong Ranges yesterday where we caught up with some lovely friends that I’ve met online through a CP support network. It was great to meet in person and at such a beautiful location.

Lots of other people had taken advantage of the good weather to head out for the day, so we kept very much to our own little spot for most of the time (and yes, Belinda, I know I can get a little overprotective of having space, LOL!) until the crowds had mostly gone and we spent a good hour wandering through the tulips.

IMG_5200The boys had a great time. Bean was very busy racing through the tulips, chased by his ever-energetic Aunty J (thanks Aunty J!). He came home with a big tear in his jeans and brown dirt all over his body, but a very big grin.

BC also loved wandering through the tulips, and he had some fun joining some other kids rolling down the grass slopes. He also sat up on stage and played along on a shaker with popular children’s entertainer Paul Jamieson.

And of course we couldn’t leave without buying a tulip for the boys to take home and watch grow (I will post some pics later when it goes into flower).

Now BC is determined that we’ll go to the Netherlands to see a REAL windmill ;-) .

It was a very special day out with a great group of friends! Lovely to see you Bron, Belinda, M, your lovely kids and  ‘support teams’!! ;-)

    Was great to see everyone Di! I am so impressed by everyone, especially your space supervision!

    I’m still finding red dirt everywhere! Worth it though!

    Sounds like a great day – we definitely need to organise a national get together!
